Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation — like being fully absorbed in a book or movie. In this state, your mind is more open to positive suggestions that help you reach your goals.

Each session starts with a relaxed conversation about what you want to work on. Then I guide you into a calm, meditative state using words, imagery, and gentle suggestion. You’ll stay aware, comfortable, and completely in control.

People use hypnosis for many personal goals, such as reducing stress, improving confidence, sleeping better, releasing unwanted habits, or boosting motivation and focus. Hypnosis can also support medical or psychological care you’re already receiving by helping you stay calm, positive, and engaged.
